Keto Thai Shrimp Cakes

Ingredients

• 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 1 1/2 cups crushed pork rinds, divided (get them here)
• 2 green onions
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro, more to taste
• 1 tablespoon sriracha, more to taste
• 1 tablespoon gluten free soy sauce or coconut aminos (get it here)
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 2 teaspoons fresh grated ginger
• 2 teaspoons fish sauce (I use this brand)
• 1 teaspoon lime zest
• oil for frying (I like avocado oil or coconut oil)
• Lime wedges for serving

Instructions

1. 1

   Place all of the ingredients (minus 1 cup of the pork rinds) into a food processor. Pulse until the mixture forms a thick paste.

2. 2

   Using wet hands or a large spoon, form the mixture into 12 even sized balls and place onto a parchment paper lined tray. The mixture will be wet and sticky. This is normal

3. 3

   Spread the remaining 1 cup of pork rinds into a shallow bowl. Coat each ball of shrimp paste in the crushed pork rinds.

4. 4

   Once well coated, press between your hands, forming a patty. Repeat this process with all of the balls of shrimp paste.

5. 5

   Heat 2 inches of oil in a dutch oven or sauce pan until very hot.

6. 6

   Place the patties into the hot oil, 2 to 4 at a time. Fry for 5 minutes, turning halfway through.
